Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance looks as gloriously ludicrous as ever in a new gamescom trailer. Prepare for more pseudo-philosophy, blades sharper than physics should allow, and an evil talking robot dog. Yep, we're ready for another Metal Gear alright. Check it out. It looks good. You knew that already, though. more
Oh man, Rayman Legends is looking absolutely gorgeous. If you don't believe me, you can always check out the new trailer and screenshots that released from gamescom. The video shows off the touch-screen controls, which I just hope they don't go mental with. After Rayman Origins, expectations are high for this. I hope they keep the momentum going. more
Man, gamescom sure knows how to drown us in undbridled stuff. Here's a new trailer for Far Cry 3, giving us a deeper look at the characters available in co-op.

You have that freedom! more
Whenever there's a new console, Ubisoft's always the first in line to provide the third-party support. In the case of Wii U, whether that's a good or bad thing depends on how much you love Rabbids.

Here are some Street Fighter X Tekken trailers showcasing the PlayStation Vita version of the game. The best thing about this version of the game is that there won't be any on-disc DLC -- because Vita games don't ship on discs. What a victory! Anyway, if you like fighting games, here are some moving pictures of people punching each other. Only smaller this time. Do you like it? more

Borderlands 2 is already set to be extremely popular, and following the presentation at gamescom, it is pretty easy to see why.
